LAND DECISION.

How an Act of Congress Made the United
States a Tenant In Common with the
Atlantic & Pacific Company.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The Secretary OF
the Interior has rendered decision in the
case OF the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, upon which rule had been issued
to show cause why certain lands adjacent
to and coterminous with the uncom.
pleted portion of the man line OF
the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Com
pauy, which are intersected by the
line of the Southern Pacific Company,
should not be restored to the pubic
domain, Congress having declared a for.
fixture of the grant to the Atlantic & Pa
cific Railroad Company as to the uncom.
pleted portion of said road. He holds that
the effect of the forfeiture was to make the
United States tenant IN common with the
Southern Pacific Company as to the COM
mon lands and therefore all the odd mum
bercd sections within the common limits
should still remain in reservation until
partition thereof has been made,

WAsHIyGroy, Nov. 23.-Nicholas Al.
Bell, Superintendent of foreign ma'is'

port for the year ended June ], 1881, shows
thut the total cost OF the service was
Sss5. The total weight OF the mails
convened from the United States 20
foreign countries shows an increase IN
the trans atlantic mail of 1888 per cent
in letters and 1885 per cent. OF other
articles: for Central and South Amerl'
can countries 1921 per cent. increase IN
letters and 2l49 per cent. OF other
articles. The increased business re-
lations of the United States with
Central and South American
countries is further shown by the fact
that in 1883 there were $50 sailing vessels,
carving the Unitel States mails to these
countries. and in 1887 there were S31. The
report contains a copy of the recent treaty
roncluded between the United States ana

0ushlng Compositions whose Theme

0uahlnR Compositions whose InemS
Never Becomes TIresome.
1t is not every body who can write a
love-letter; perhaps because 1t IS not
every one who knows how to love.
People fancy that they love when their
hearts are not touched in the least,
and their vanity is the only thing that
is kindled. When women are young.
their first lover is revelation, and
they often marry him from sheer in,
ability to understand their own emo
tions. The love-letters of such people
are apt to be flavorless; they lack the
true aroma. The genuine lover loves
to write letters to the adored one; he
does not limit himself to covering four
pages; he has SO much to say that it
seems to him as if it would take life
time to say it all. He is not obliged
to study how to turn pretty compll.
ment or phrase; it turns of itself as il
by inspirations; like the genuine poet,
it is merely the expression OF his in
most being. the vibration of his heart
strings. He does not write simply be-
cause his sweetheart expects it OF him;
he writes because he must; but if he is
only lukewarm, and not certain but
there are others equally "taking" who
could fill his heart quite as satisfac-
torily, his letters will show it if her
eyes are keen enough to see. and she
is not blinded by self-conceit. There
are many who can write more gush-
ingly than they can speak; not that
they have more time to consider
their words and weigh theil
thoughts, and not that love-lette'
need be gushing-gush is always more
or less questionablc-but shy people
find difficulty in expressing them
selves at times, and the more in low
they are, the more likely they are ''tt
